Are we getting old?

This weekend I went to see my awesome GPB girls for a reunion. We spent all day in Madison on a pontoon boat on a lake (not the lake since we were not on Mendota but rather a lake). We are all between the ages of I want to see the youngest like 24 to 26 maybe. I think this is still pretty young, none of us on the boat have kids yet though some are starting to plan for that in the near future and others are are avoiding in like the plague but what was more disturbing were the topics of gray hairs and spider veins.  At one point like 6 people on the boat were comparing their spider veins whatever the heck they are, I apparently don't have them and was left out of this discussion, which I guess I didn't mind since I figure better to not have them and not be included than to have them and have to show them to everyone.  I did google them and while there is a chance that I may get varicose veins at some point because they run in my Dad's family I can't really think of anyone in my family with spider veins, so maybe I will remain good there.  But really the point of all this is how is it that we're already getting old this young.  I have no idea if between the highlights I have gray hairs I certainly am not going to comb through my hair looking for them and believe me if I find them Im not sharing, I guess I could see where it would be upsetting to find them but its funny how for a group so set on going out and having fun and being young to have so much talk about how old we're getting, and for me the a-typical 25 year old who doesn't ever go out because she really can't stand the taste of alcohol which like no one on this planet or at least anyone who ever went to WI-Platteville can seem to understand to actually pick up on this was just a little too strange. Speaking of that note Im beginning to think maybe I should just start telling people we're Mormon (no offense in any way to anyone who is Mormon) because maybe then they would get the whole not drinking thing and just lay off, while Im not saying I never drink I do like the occasional sweeter glass of wine, I've never liked the taste of alcohol and I hate beer I pretty much just slammed enough to get instantly wasted in college in order to drink more, J cannot drink due to medical reasons which sucks for him because he would really like to if he could but I just don't understand how something like that can be such a big deal, I mean we have lost friends over it, I guess looking back maybe those friendships were only based on alcohol but if thats the case thats just a sad sack really, and you have to wonder how many friendships out there are only based on a beverage?
